Many factors affect the boot speed of the Windows XP operating system: the presence of programs in the startup list, the display of the welcome screen, and the hardware itself, to one degree or another, affects the boot. For those who want to disable the display of the welcome screen during the loading of the operating system, there are several steps that are described below.
Necessary
Operating system Windows XP
Instructions
Step 1
To turn off the option to display the welcome screen, go to the "Start" menu, in the menu that opens, select the "Control Panel" item. Depending on the settings, the "Control Panel" section can be called up by clicking or displayed as an expanded list in the "Start" menu. In the window that opens or from the list, select "User accounts".
Step 2
In the "User Accounts" window, click the link "Change user logon". This window will display two options:
- use the welcome page;
- use fast user switching.
Step 3
To turn off the display of the welcome screen, you must uncheck the first item. The second parameter will automatically become inactive, because without a welcome screen, it is impossible to make user choices. Click the "Apply parameters" button to save the changes or click the "Cancel" button if you do not want to save the changes you made to the system settings.
Step 4
If for some reason you were unable to disable the display of the welcome screen using the standard means of the operating system, you can try to customize the display of the welcome screen using special programs. For example, XP Tweaker Russian Edition software. With the help of this program, you can change not only the display settings, but also many other parameters.
Step 5
After installing the program and launching it, you need to go to the "System" section (icons in the left panel), and then to the "System Boot" tab. In the "Login" block there are several parameters, the value of which can be changed. You need to change the parameters "Use the welcome page" and "Use fast user switching" (uncheck these items). To save the changes made to the configuration files of the system, click the "Apply" button and restart the computer.
